From the author of the highly anticipated memoir, The Boy on the Shed, comes a powerful story of grit and resilience, written with great humor, openness, and deep bravery.
Former Newcastle United winger Paul Ferris was diagnosed with prostate cancer. This honest, sometimes harsh, and often funny book tells the story of what happened next.
Prostate cancer is a phrase that strikes fear into every man. It is the most common male cancer, but it can be cured if detected early. Paul does not shy away from describing this treatment and its life-changing consequences, from painful surgeries to humiliating procedures.
The psychological impact of living with this acute condition is explored in Paul's revealing narrative, which represents a rare male honesty, yet it is not a 'poor me' book or self-pitying.
With courage, inspiration, and beautiful writing, The Magic in the Tin is a rare case: deeply moving yet rich in humor, written by a true sportsman.
A hard-hitting and poignant account of a man's journey through prostate cancer.
